I have 2 NOS fields for this game. and 1 2nd print playfield that was literally the first test print. and also the Whitewood which is quite nice to own. I want to build 1 more so I have Steve Kirks original, The whitewood and then 1 with a NOS field , NOS plastics, and Painted cab like the stickers. I have the parts its just not having time. I NEED TO FIND TIME!!!
I love me the Gamatron!!!...Fantastic game.
Quoted from Chosen_S:A few bumps along the way, not my best work, but good enough...
Looks great. As for spinners you need very special ones only on Gamatron. They have a bracket over them with an explosion on the spinner. They are unique to the game. Impossible to find.

By the way just touch it up and then put in the wire guides. Won't notice it at all. Do this all the time post clear
Quoted from dothedoo:The spinner brackets look like the Game Plan type.
Oh that is right because on Martino's Andromeda it has the same spinner and so does Sharpshooter. Should be able to find something like that and use a Classic stern spinner in it.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Got some work done...
Left to do:
Metal pop bumper, replace the old one with old stern metal... Really pinstar!? Plastic popbumper???
Clean and adjust large drop target mech
Looks like mice ate the plastic on some wires... Need to repair / replace wires on some coils and some switches in various places
Later: replace flipper mechs, want to see how the plastic ones perform
Plastic pop bumpers are AWESOME. So much faster and it doesn't tear up the ball and create metal shards.... If you take off the game I will take no problem.

Quoted from futurepinhead:I had always read on here that you want to allow time for your clearcoat to cure before adding the components. I'm not sure when you did it exactly but the post started 15 days ago. I'm not nit picking, I love this thread so far, just wanted to help you out with what I have read on here but some of the playfield greats.
Depends on the cure and material but automotive you can add components back in 1 to 2 days. 15 days is fine. Not sure on playing it but I wouldn't hesitate to do so. The majority of reaction especially top layer is cured and dried within hours.
By the say I see you are actually painting the word gamatron and adding in the "laser" with the Robot. I LIKE IT!
I thought about doing something like this with my next Stargazer restore!!! Awesome can't wait to see it
